In this following context, waht does the phrase 'at any time'' mean?
Does it mean: 'everytime'?


Context:
Further, as there is no evil
kamma-formation without the presence of avijjå, and no avijjå without the presence of evil kamma-formations, therefore both are at any time, and under all circumstances, also mutual conditions to each other (aññam-añña-paccaya); and thus
avijjå and the evil kamma-formations are inseparable.

    This is not natural English as spoken by native speakers. Instead of "at any time", I would say "at all times."

    There is no such word as "everytime." You are thinking of the two words "every time."

    Should I take the following definition for this phrase:
    ''If something could happen at any time, it is possible very soon, though nobody can predict exactly when''
